Health-care experts ready for changes Providers in Lone Tree cite benefits, challenges linked to Obamacare By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Representatives of Lone Tree’s three major medical providers said they’re committed to reducing costs while improving care, even as their patient load will likely increase under the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. They were members of a panel at the Denver Marriott South who discussed the act during a June 12 public forum sponsored by the Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce. The Affordable Care Act, signed into law by President Obama in 2010, is a massive overhaul of the country’s health-care system. A major component takes effect this

fall when the health insurance exchanges open, allowing people and small business owners to shop for health insurance. Panel member Brenda LaCombe from the Colorado Health Benefit Exchange believes insurance rates will be affordable. “We’re very excited with what we’ve already seen,” she said. “Really, the small business owner will have more options to offer their employees.” The act also aims to reduce costs and streamline health-care delivery, an idea the representatives of Sky Ridge Medical Center, Kaiser Permanente and the University of Colorado Hospital said they support. “Quite frankly, our industry is not something I’m proud of in terms of what it’s consumed,” said Kaiser Permanente vice president Roland Lyon, noting that healthcare expenses account for about 18 percent of the country’s gross domestic product. “Shame on us if we can’t get our costs down.

New ratings for teachers don’t pacify Do-over by district follows high rankings at Trailblazer By Jane Reuter

Used-bike program picks up speed Project ReCycle grows in sprawling new space By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews. com As Alberto “AJ” Stapleton walks across the floor of an empty warehouse, his tall, sturdy frame seems to disappear in the vast space. “This is a long ways from the eight storage units we used to have to work out of in Littleton,” said Stapleton. He serves as executive director of Project Recycle, a charity organization founded in 2008 that repairs donated bicycles and puts them in the hands of those less fortunate. Stapleton said the space, donated by the private developer who owns the building, has added momentum and reach to the group’s mission. “We were actually surprised when we pulled all the bikes out of storage and set them up,” he said. “We had no idea how many we had because they were all

Alberto “AJ” Stapleton, executive director of Project ReCyele, says rider safety is important, and used helmets may not meet new federal standards. stuffed into these public storage units, but now, we see how much more we have to give.” The group moved into the space at 13796 Compark Blvd. in unincorporated Douglas County in October. Stapleton said the extra breathing room has fostered the addition of nine new bicycle repair stations, and the

creation of a new resale shop called The Kick Stand. While Project Recycle accepts bike donations of all makes, models and condition, some are not always a good for kids or the average rider, according to Stapleton. Higher-end bikes, such as those with specialized frames

or those that may have a higher resale value, are sold, and the proceeds go back into Project Recycle. But Stapleton said the new space is just the beginning of bigger things to come. “The bikes aren’t always just for kids,” he explained. “We have a lot of bikes for parents as well. Some need them to get to and from work or the bus; others often ride with their kids.” Project Recycle, which has given away more than 3,000 bikes since its inception, is looking at expansions into Castle Rock, Colorado Springs and New Mexico. Among Project ReCycle’s biggest needs right now is a pickup truck to pull a small covered trailer. “We’ve got a lot of work ahead of us before that happens,” Stapleton said. “But it’s worth it, when you see that smile on a kid’s face. That’s what makes it all worthwhile.” For more information, visit Project ReCycle online at www. projectrecycle.org.

Trailblazer Elementary School teacher Cheryl Murphy recently learned her original “highly effective” instructional rating dropped a notch to “effective,” taking with it part of her anticipated raise and more of her faith in the Douglas County School District. “The change isn’t what really bothers me,” Murphy said. “The whole evaluation process is flawed. It’s up to interpretation. It’s one more thing that shows this district’s not headed in a great direction for the majority of kids. It’s one more reason to go.” Because of the drop in her rating and her relatively high placement on DCSD’s new market-based pay scale, Murphy said she’ll get a 2 percent pay increase instead of the 5 percent she’d anticipated. Murphy and other Trailblazer teachers underwent a second evaluation of their teaching ability after DCSD labeled Principal Linda Schneider’s first assessments — in which she ranked 70 percent of her teachers “highly effective” — a statistical anomaly. Though Murphy chose to share her new ranking, the district isn’t releasing its results. District-wide, about 15 percent of teachers are rated “highly effective,” according to DCSD, and most — 71 percent — are rated “effective.” Schneider, retiring after eight years at Trailblazer, stands by her findings. Murphy stands by her principal. And DCSD stands by its self-designed process. “There are always unforeseen circumstances when implementing any sort of program,” said Christian Cutter, assistant superintendent of elementary education. “We had many, many schools around the district — the vast majority — where it worked very well.” Results continues on Page 8

douglas county sheriff briefs Department frosted about cake

Amphitheatre

On June 1, Douglas County sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of criminal mischief on Acres Green Drive, near the intersection with Maximus Drive. There was a DCSO speed trailer parked on Acres Green Drive that had cake smeared all over the speed indicator, preventing drivers from reading their respective speeds. The indicator appeared undamaged. There are no leads in this cake … or case.

Suitcase stolen from car

June 21

A resident of the 900 block of Summer Drive in Highlands Ranch placed a packed suitcase in his car about 9 p.m. on June 3, and about 8 a.m. the following day noticed that his doors were unlocked, a window in the vehicle was slightly cracked and the suitcase — containing clothes, sunglasses and medication — had been taken. He believed he had locked his car and left his windows up the night before, but there was no obvious damage to the car or signs of forced entry.

Car cleaned inside and out

A customer at a car wash in the 800 block of West Happy Canyon Road in Castle Pines dropped her car off to be cleaned about 2 p.m. June 9, and went to get her nails done at a salon in the same strip mall while it was being cleaned. When she returned to pick her vehicle up one hour after dropping it off she discovered her iPhone had been taken from inside the car. Employees at the car wash denied taking the phone or any other items from the car.

The message, painted four feet up from the ground, said: “If love is a bridge, we built it wrong.” Back on April 13, deputies had assisted fire personnel in putting out a fire in a trashcan near one of the dugouts at the school’s softball field and also took note of multiple derogatory messages written on the dugout walls in chalk, which were proSatan and anti-Valor in nature. There are no leads in either case.

Brewery expands with patio opening It would have been easier to build Lone Tree Brewing Company’s patio without the single tree that stands just outside the business. Instead, co-owners John Winter and Jason Wiedmaier constructed it around the Ponderosa pine, carefully encircling it with metal that easily can be widened to accommodate the tree’s growth. “We just couldn’t cut it down,” Winter said. “It represents who we are.” The fast-growing craft brewery celebrated the grand opening of its patio June 15, though the area opened for use June 8. “We had no intention of putting a patio out there originally,” Winter said. “It happened through the requests of the community, and it’s certainly paid off. We’ve already seen an upswing in revenue.” Highlands Ranch residents Colin

‘We had no intention of putting a patio out there originally . . . it’s certainly paid off.’ John Winter, Lone Tree Brewing Company co-owner and Michaela Trottnow were back on the patio for the second time in a week June 15, their dog Higgins relaxing quietly at their feet. The Trottnows said Higgins, typically energetic, is inexplicably mellow at the brewery. “It’s nice to sit outside here,” Michaela said, and lamented the absence of a small, craft brewery in Highlands Ranch. Standing-room-only crowds aren’t unusual at the 18-month-old Lone Tree business, and Winter said the added outside seating will help alleviate that issue as well. The brewery’s growth doesn’t stop there. By fall, it likely will expand its original capacity of 49 barrels to 155 — a

threefold increase that stuns Winter and Wiedmaier. “It seems to me we’re kind of like a snowball going downhill,” he said. “More and more people are calling, asking us for taps.” Lone Tree beer now is served in 40 metro-area restaurants, and its red and pale ale bottled beers are sold in 16 liquor stores. It soon will add its Hoptree Double IPA to the bottled selection. Clearly, Winter said, the business someday will outgrow its current Park Meadows Drive space. It won’t outgrow the city. “We have no intention of leaving Lone Tree,” Winter said. “We’ll work with the landlord, or something.”

Residents lend hand to fire evacuees Douglas, Elbert volunteers provide shelter for horses By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews. com As the wind-fueled flames crept closer, Black Forest residents gathered their animals and most cherished possessions and headed north. Urgent mandatory evacuation notices were issued June 12 and 13 with such abruptness that some people were unable to return home to load up their pets and livestock. Many animals escaped with their lives thanks to the kindness of firefighters and neighbors who cut fences so the creatures would not be trapped. Other volunteers traveled from Franktown, Parker and Elizabeth with horse trailers to see if they could lend a helping hand. Dozens of horses were taken to the Colorado Horse Park, just south of Parker, and others were brought to the Elbert County Fairgrounds, where volunteers who had worked the previous weekend at the Elizabeth Stampede were pitching in. As of the afternoon of June 17, firefighters had the Black Forest Fire 75 percent contained. But more than 500 homes were destroyed and 14,300 acres were scorched, which means some will never be able to go home. It was the largest of the wildfires that flared up due in part to extremely dry conditions and high winds. An exact

Smoke from the Black Forest Fire could be seen from Castle Rock on June 11. Photo by Virginia Grantier cause has not been determined. The fire came dangerously close to entering Douglas County, and the preevacuation area extended near the edge of Castlewood Canyon State Park until the threat subsided June 15. Pet shops and boarding facilities in Parker and Castle Rock were especially busy on June 13 and 14 with customers buying food for evacuated pets. The Colorado Horse Park, equipped with several water trucks, is in an area that has experienced wildfires throughout the years. “This is our second-go-round at a pretty major catastrophe here in Colorado,” said Brian Curry, vice president of Colorado Horse Park. “Two years ago we had the Burning Tree Fire. We had trailers lined up from around the main entrance in and

around the barns. We had more trailers than horses. It was kind of neat to see that many people come together to help. We were able to extract 100plus horses to this facility in 45 minutes.” The post-fire response is almost as impressive as the evacuation assistance. Organizers of the 2013 Solheim Cup decided to donate 15 percent of ticket sales for the remainder of June to the Colorado Professional Fire Fighters Foundation, which aids firefighters and their families. With the fire raging 20 miles to the south, officials with the international women’s golf tournament event felt the need to give back. The donation is “our way of saying ‘thank you,’” said Solheim Cup Tournament Director Becky Newell.

How to help victims of wildfire As wildfires force widespread evacuations in Colorado and leave many families homeless, there are ways you can help: • American Red Cross The American Red Cross is offering disaster relief, including emergency shelters. To donate, go to www.redcross. org/co/denver or call 1-800-REDCROSS (1-800-733-2767). The Red Cross currently has enough volunteers to meet its needs, but will update if circumstances change. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, go to www.redcross.org/co/denver/volunteer to apply.

• Pikes Peak Community Foundation The Pikes Peak Community Foundation has launched the Emergency Relief Fund for the Pikes Peak Region to benefit nonprofits, first responders and other agencies providing local disaster relief. To donate, go to www.ppcf.org/ products/emergency-relief. • Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region The Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region’s emergency support fund helps families and their animals during disasters. To donate, go to www.hsppr.org/disasterdonation.

Multi-faceted Elizabeth Funk dies Health Artist, businesswoman lived life to the fullest By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews. com Elizabeth Funk, a local artist, photographer, designer, framer and businesswoman in Littleton and Castle Rock, died on June 8 after a rich, varied life. She was 80 years old. Funk most recently lived in a home she and Sally Perisho designed on 2½ acres in the Cherokee Ridge EsFunk tates area of Douglas County in 2007, where they enjoyed many friends and neighbors, as well as a variety of birds and wildlife, including elk. A spectacular view gave her daily pleasure. Funk was born in Switzerland in 1932 and attended Kunstgewere Schule (Arts and Crafts) in Zurich, a renowned school of contemporary art, where she studied with Bauhaus

professors, specializing in photography, photojournalism, design, commercial art and color theory. She then, with her mother, visited her elegant maternal grandmother in Brooklyn and decided to stay in the U.S. Unable to find a job as a photojournalist, Funk found one at Bloomingdale’s in kitchen design and home accessories. (She initially applied because she wanted an employee’s discount on a handsome piece of teak furniture in the window — one that is still in her home.) Her customers included a Rockefeller family member, Marlene Dietrich and other distinguished people, according to her longtime partner Perisho. In 1963, Funk followed a friend to Littleton and opened the Creamery on Alamo Avenue, a European-style home accessories and gift shop, which she operated until 1980, when she studied custom framing and became a consultant with the Great Frame Up. In 1982 she opened The Picture Framer/Card Shop on Littleton’s Main Street, later moving the Picture Framer to Castle Rock in 1988. Funk and Perisho traveled widely in the U.S. and Europe.

Active in community affairs, Funk served as a board member at Littleton Town Hall Arts Center; was active in the Littleton Business Association; and was on the board of the Colorado Gallery of the Arts at Arapahoe Community College. There she met Perisho, who was gallery director. She was president and board member of the ACC Foundation and a board member of the Community Arts Symphony (now the Arapahoe Philharmonic). While Funk had some heart problems in the past, she felt well and played two golf games in the week before she died. She once said, “It’s easier to kill a weed than a flower!” A celebration of Funk’s life will be held at 4 p.m. June 25 at Hudson Gardens. Funk is survived by Perisho, her sister Vera Stampsli and her family, plus numerous cousins in Switzerland. Perisho will visit there in August to hold a memorial. Donations toward a tribute tree can be made to the Elizabeth Funk Memorial Fund at Hudson Gardens, 6115 S. Santa Fe Drive, Littleton, CO 80120.

“The worst quality care we can deliver is medicine that’s not affordable.” Challenges lie ahead. More affordable health care likely will increase demand on providers. “This is coming at the same time we’re talking about a shortage in primary care providers,” said Sky Ridge chief medical officer Dr. David Markenson. It also coincides with the aging of approximately 76 million baby boomers, and obesity rates reaching epidemic levels. “We’re all getting older and fatter and sicker,” Lyon said. “Our `Thrive’ campaign is to get people thinking what they can be doing to improve their health. Frankly, that’s the best way we’re going to reduce the cost of health care.” The University of Colorado’s Dr. Benjamin Honigman, an emergency physician, said he routinely deals “with the aftereffects of obesity and people who don’t take care of themselves.”

But he sees tangible evidence that may slowly be changing on a high school track near the University of Colorado’s Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora. “Every year, I see more and more people that are either walking or running,” he said. “These are overweight people. These are minorities, who have a historically high rate of obesity. I’m beginning to see people paying attention to this.” University of Colorado Hospital is the newest member of Lone Tree’s medical community, opening its Lone Tree Health Center in December 2012. Kaiser Permanente is nearing completion of a large medical center in Lone Tree, and Sky Ridge breaks ground on a $117 million expansion in late June. It’s good news for patients, panelists agreed. “If I can give patients quicker care in their own community, the return on that investment is extreme,” Markenson said. “I wouldn’t look at the (construction) cranes that have gone up as being more expensive care. I would look at it is more efficient, affordable care.”

Castle Pines says no to pot facilities Fundraiser aims Council bars commercial operations in city limits

‘You never want to bring in revenue that’s going to negatively impact

By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@ourcolorado news.com He’s always looking for a way to increase city revenues, but never this way, Castle Pines Councilmember Marc Town said after the council voted unanimously on second reading June 11 to ban commercial marijuana operations in the city. “You never want to bring in revenue that’s going to negatively impact your community,” he said. The city’s new ordinance prohibits marijuana cultivation facilities, testing and product manufacturing facilities, and retail marijuana stores. Towne said in a recent interview that residents understand there are tax dollars in marijuana sales, but Castle Pines, like many

your community.’ Marc Town, councilmember other Douglas County communities, “is a very conservative community, very family oriented.” Marijuana being a drug, Castle Pines doesn’t see commercial marijuana businesses “being conducive to the family and community environment that has been in place for many years,” Towne said. Towne said in communities such as Colorado Springs, which he visits often, there are quite a few marijuana dispensaries. “The folks that are in front of those dispensaries are not Castle Pines clientele,” he said. “You see a lot of folks that are obviously

abusing. ... Those are the folks that are taking advantage.” Towne said Castle Pines may have residents who seek marijuana for medical treatment. The council is “sensitive to their needs,” but what they need can be bought outside of Castle Pines, Towne said. Colorado’s Amendment 64, which voters passed last year legalizing recreational marijuana use, includes a provision allowing local jurisdictions to prohibit commercial marijuana facilities. And communities in Douglas County have been using it. Douglas County was

the state’s first county to impose a commercial ban, and Castle Rock, Lone Tree, Parker and now Castle Pines have followed suit. Larkspur has imposed a moratorium until 2014, waiting to see what rules and regulations the state imposes before taking further action, Larkspur Town Manager Matt Krimmer said recently. Towne also said it was a safety issue for his community. He said marijuana is a high-cash business and items within those businesses have a very high value — and that increases the odds for outside burglaries. Mayor Jeffrey Huff said his vote reflected local sentiment on Amendment 64, which the “majority in Douglas County voted against.” Towne said when the council votes, 90 percent of the voting ratio is based on feedback from the town’s constituency. “It was pretty unanimous through the community,” he said.

Business After Hours at the Marriott beats the heat

to provide dogs’ bulletproof vests By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@ourcolorado news.com “Doc” and “Zoos,” the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office’s newest dogs, are on patrol, but don’t have the protection of bulletproof vests, said Kim Vanderholm, a veterinarian at Franktown Animal Clinic. So Vanderholm and others involved with the K9 Friends organization, which supports the sheriff’s K-9 Unit, have planned a fundraiser called “Wag Your Tail” to raise the $5,000 needed for the two vests. The event will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. June 22, about a mile north of Franktown near Highway 83 in the Hidden Mesa Open Space. Tickets for the event are

Despite the early summer heat, or perhaps because of it, the Chamber’s June Business After Hours was enjoyed by 140 Chamber Investors and guests at the newly renovated Denver Marriott South at Park Meadows. The hotel completed a $3.8 Million renovation last October and is continuing to showcase the new look including the update to its in-house restaurant, Sonoma’z Wine Bar & Grill. The hotel’s well-known hospitality was enjoyed by all (especially the air conditioning) in their Park Ridge Ballroom. The Marriott’s culinary staff demonstrated their skills as beautifully set appetizers and desserts were continually replenished along with the ice cold beverages. Conversations and laughter among the crowd filled the room with a congenial atmosphere as old friends connected and new friendships were created. Alex Benko of Trout Mobile was one such guest: “The great group of SMDC investors and guests always makes these events a success. Denver Marriott South - Park Meadows was an exceptional venue for tonight’s event.” Chamber board member and this year’s Community Leader of the Year Jeff Wasden of PROformance Apparel quieted the group long enough to introduce the hotel’s Director of Operations, David DiFalco. “Thank you all for coming to help us spread the word about our beautiful new hotel. We are eager to invite your family, friends and business associates to enjoy what we have to offer here at the Denver Marriott South at Park Meadows. The renovation has brought new life and color to every one of the 279 guest rooms, our restaurant - Sonoma’z with its three private dining rooms, our outdoor patios, and our lobby and we look forward to sharing it with Denver,” said DiFalco. A business card drawing was held with Amanda Doubet of the American Cancer Society winning a $100 gift certificate to Sonoma’z and Karen Doebelin of Pots Tea winning an overnight stay at the hotel. The event was a great way to celebrate a longtime Chamber Investor as well as continue to build Remarkable Relationships. Director of Operations Dave DiFalco welcomes Chamber guests as Chamber Board member Jeff Wasden looks on.

$25 for adults and $8 for children ages 12 and younger. Dogs are free. The price includes drinks, bottled water and a barbecue lunch prepared by Flying Horse Catering (Pegasus Restaurant of Castle Rock), and the opportunity for participants to walk their dogs on a three-mile trail. For those so inclined, there is also a seven-mile loop. The event includes demonstrations by the sheriff’s dogs, and other educational opportunities. People don’t need a dog to attend. If the family dog comes, however, it needs to be on a leash and must have proof of a rabies vaccination. For more information, go to k9friends.org.

Jewel thief gets 48-year sentence By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews. com A Douglas County District Court judge showed no leniency to a man who showed no remorse for committing his 13th felony. Prosecutors for the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office said Thomas Hild’s criminal record speaks for itself. Prior to his latest indiscretion, Hild had been convicted of 12 felonies — forgery, thirddegree burglary, repeated driving infractions, leaving the scene of an accident and escape among them — and has been in and out of prison since Hild 1978. Hild’s latest felony conviction — this one for a brazen, four-hour-long heist that netted $480,000 in jewelry — was the final straw for Douglas County District Court Judge Paul A. King, who referred to the defendant as a “career criminal” before handing down a 48-year prison sentence June 14. Hild, 53, was arrested in May

Castle Rock

2012 after the Parker Police Department identified him as one of three suspects in a burglary at Apex Jewelers two months earlier. Detective Penny VanDenBerg said Hild was recruited for his ability to drill through the wall of an adjacent vacant store and break into a safe using heavy-duty construction tools. Hild’s alleged co-conspirators, Charles Williams and Daniel Delgado, face separate trials. Laura Wilson, deputy district attorney, said the men would have gotten away with the crime if not for good detective work by VanDenBerg, who spotted Delgado on surveillance video going through a nearby McDonald’s drive-thru while the alleged burglary was taking place. VanDenBerg said Delgado was supposed to be the “lookout.” Hild was found guilty on all eight charges he faced after a four-day jury trial in late February. Three of Hild’s relatives attended the June 14 sentencing hearing, in which prosecutors asked for consecutive sentences totaling 72 years behind bars. Wilson said the DA’s office was trying to make sure Hild would not become eligible for parole, regardless of his age. Jewel continues on Page 9

Cutter said the findings of “a couple” other evaluators also strayed far enough from the norm to warrant a second review. But Trailblazer’s was the farthest outside the standard deviations, he said. Under the evaluations, each teacher is assigned a rating ranging from “highly effective” to “ineffective” that is tied to pay increases. “The situation (at Trailblazer) is very unfortunate,” Cutter said. “I think it’s been hard on everybody.” Trailblazer parents and students protested outside the school May 23 after learning their teachers would be subject to a second evaluation. But this time, each teacher was reviewed by three principals or assistant principals from elsewhere in the district — not the principal who knows them best and describes her evaluation process as a thorough, year-long event. Murphy said the three evaluators all gave her different scores. “How is it possible if three people heard exactly the same information and came up with different scores?” Murphy said. “They’re saying Linda didn’t do it correctly and theirs is more valid. How is theirs more valid when they still get different scores and

Principal Linda Schneider stands by her teachers’ ratings at Trailblazer Elementary. Photo by Jane Reuter they don’t even know me?” Schneider said the district’s second evaluation “is a glimpse in time, not a body of evidence.” The principal said she turned the school around during her eight years there, initially firing some ineffective teachers and bringing together a top-notch staff deserving of their “highly effective” scores. “I put my blood, sweat and tears into those evaluations,” Schneider said. “Year after year, my teachers have been highly effective. Only this year, when it’s tied to pay, were they questioned.” Parents also protested at Saddle Ranch Elementary May 30 when they learned none of their

Parker

teachers received a “highly effective” rating, and were denied a meeting with administrators to discuss the issue. Teachers at two other schools report a preponderance of “partially effectives,” and Timber Trail Elementary Principal Michele Radke recently told teachers at the Castle Rock school they could have independent reviews of their evaluations. “The best thing about this is people are starting to be aware of the ugliness that’s going on,” Schneider said. “I know what I’ve done was right. Is it easier for me to begin my retirement and put this behind me? Yes. I believe in our teachers too much not to speak up and let the inequities continue happening.” Trailblazer parent Wendy Vogel feels children are paying the price for the school board’s fastpaced education reform efforts. “Why the rush?” she said. “They could have waited. They could have worked out all the kinks and not had this issue. I think it was reckless of the district. “In my opinion, they’re wanting to make a name for themselves. They’re experimenting, and it’s our kids that are going to bear the brunt of that.” Cutter said DCSD will work closely with Trailblazer’s incoming principal when the new school year begins. “We really want to support Trailblazer going forward,” he said.

Teen running for school board Students upset by officials’ acts, Chaparral grad says By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com A 2013 Chaparral High School graduate is running for a Douglas County School District board seat. Nicholas Land, 18, wants to unseat Meghann Silverthorn during the November 2013 election. So does Ronda Scholting, a public relations consultant and former broadcast journalist who announced her intent in late May. Both Parker residents seek the District G seat. Land is unaffiliated with a political party. Scholting is a Democrat and Silverthorn a Republican. Silverthorn plans to seek re-election, making it a three-way race, though Land said he’ll consider stepping down if it appears his candidacy could split the vote in favor of the incumbent. “I do want to be sure we can get Meghann out of office because I don’t think she’s doing the best for the district right now,” Land said. Land believes his experiences within the school system give him a unique under-

standing. He served on the Douglas County Student Advisory Group, and was a reporter and business manager for Chaparral’s student newspaper. “I know students who are upset with what the Land board is doing,” Land said. “I feel like there needs to be a student perspective on the board. Overall they are the most affected by the decisions the board makes.” His upbringing also helped lead him to his decision to run. “I’m an only child, so I had to mature quickly,” he said. “I’ve always talked with adults and always had a grasp of politics.” Land said he supports pay for performance, but believes the controversial evaluation system “was implemented a little too quickly and haphazardly.” He said he saw teachers struggling to handle the additional classes most were required to teach under the block schedule introduced last fall at most DCSD high schools. “I see these teachers trying to do the same amazing job they did before,” he said.

Advocate set to advise school board candidates Former district spokeswoman wants change in leadership By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Susan Meek can’t run for a seat on the school board this November as she did in 2011. Instead, she’s going to help other candidates do it. Meek, a critic of the current board and administration who was once the Douglas County School District’s spokeswoman, lives in board member Craig Richardson’s Highlands Ranch district. The District A seat, which Meek sought unsuccessfully in 2011, does not expire until 2015. “I would seriously consider (running),” said Meek. “Instead I’ve decided to focus my time and attenMeek tion on restoring the parent voice to the district and finding school board candidates that will help accomplish this task. “I ran my campaign on a shoestring. I want to try to help the underdog candidate who does not have large outside donors.” Meek and fellow parent Laura Mutton co-founded Strong Schools Coalition, an organization that provides information about DCSD and also commonly is critical of the board. Meek is stepping down as the coalition’s vice president to work with board candidates. “Strong Schools Coalition is a nonprofit that does not support or endorse any politi-

“The defendant has been given every opportunity in the community for rehabilitation,” Wilson said. “Nothing seems to deter him from criminal acts.” King said state law mandates concurrent sentences unless there are multiple victims. Ida Reinhold, the only family member to speak on Hild’s behalf, said Hild had started his own business, bought a home and was living a “normal life” since getting out of prison the most recent time. “He is a good person,” Reinhold said. While detailing his reasons for the 48year sentence, King delivered a pointed response to her assertion, saying, “Good

cal party or candidate for elected offices,” she said. “It would be a conflict of interest to (continue as vice president).” Parker residents Ronda Scholting and Nicholas Land, both seeking Meghann Silverthorn’s District G seat, are the only two candidates that have declared their intentions. Meek isn’t yet throwing her support behind either one, saying she needs to do more research. The seats held by Doug Benevento, John Carson and Carrie Mendoza also are up for election. Carson is term-limited and cannot seek another term. Meek firmly believes sweeping change is needed on the school board. “I receive emails nearly on a daily basis from individuals frustrated that their voice is not being heard,” she said. “There are some clear problems that have been brought to light, but no attention has been brought to them by the board.” Her concerns include a decrease in instructional time for high school students linked to a schedule change, inconsistencies she sees in DCSD’s budget and a perception that the board does not address issues voiced by community members. “I feel like I have tried to use every channel available to work with the board to address concerns that are parent concerns, and parents have been ignored,” she said. “So the only alternative at this time is to find school board candidates that can restore the parent voice.” Retired Douglas County elementary school teacher Mary Strain replaces Meek as vice president of Strong Schools. Strain and her husband are 20-year residents of Parker.

people do not commit 13 felonies.” King also admonished Hild for not taking responsibility for his actions and said incarcerating him was the “only way to keep the community safe.” Hild’s defense attorney, Marques Ivey, said he believes the evidence was not enough to support the jury’s decision to find him guilty. “I don’t think they proved it,” Ivey said, referring to prosecutors’ circumstantial case. The judge granted Ivey’s request to find Hild indigent so he can immediately retain counsel to represent him in an appeal. Hild has 45 days to file a notice of appeal. He was given 400 days of credit for time served. The amount of restitution will be determined at a later date. The jewels that were stolen have not been recovered.

‘I feel like there needs to be a student perspective on the board. Overall they are the most affected by the decisions the board makes.’ Nicholas Land, Chaparral High School graduate “I felt the stress the teachers were having. I’m worried the way teachers are being treated right now in the district is slowly affecting the students.” Land sees some of that fallout in the teachers leaving Chaparral. While DCSD currently shows 17 teachers are leaving the school, Land and others say the number is higher. “The thing that really impacted me and persuaded me to do this was not only the teachers were leaving, but they were teachers who had been here for years who had loved the district and believed so much in what it stood for,” he said. “And now they’re choosing to leave.” “My business model is very simple: A happy worker is an efficient worker. If

teachers aren’t worried about their job security, salaries, or how they’re going to be judged by the district, if it’s a model they agree on and can understand very clearly, they can focus on being the best teacher they can in the classroom.” While a Chaparral High School survey showed 67 percent of student respondents like the schedule, Land’s not sure it’s best for students. “Both teachers and students were overwhelmed at times,” Land said. “(During offperiods,) I will admit openly I was often not doing homework. I was hanging out with friends.” Land plans to study history at Metropolitan State University this fall, and ultimately work as a high school teacher.

opinions / yours and ours

Pulling together in time of emergency Unfortunately, we know the smoke all too well. Amid dry grass and strong winds, a wildfire struck Colorado again last week, consuming more than 480 homes and leaving two dead seemingly in the blink of an eye in the Black Forest area near Colorado Springs. Family after family grabbed photos first then bundled other treasures in an evacuation estimated at 40,000 people — about the size of the population of cities like Parker, Littleton or Northglenn. Meanwhile, other fires continued to burn across the state. Once again the smell of smoke reached

our view the northern confines of our Colorado Community Media coverage area in Westminster — much like the Hayman fire of 2002, which smoke could be smelled more than 100 miles away. We had hoped the loss of about 330 homes and property caused by that blaze would not happen again. So here go again. Many know the drills by heart — how to help, how to stay safe,

question of the week

Is it ‘Tebow Time’ in New England? Visitors at the Outlets at Castle Rock recently told Colorado Community Media what they thought about former Denver Bronco Tim Tebow’s opportunity with the New England Patriots.

“I’m happy for him. He’s just a good guy who deserves another crack at the NFL.” — Steve Soper, Littleton

“I think it’s a good idea. He can help the team. He’s a good athlete. They should find some good use for him on the team.” — Richard Scalese, Aurora

“I was surprised. ... He’s got a lot of bad rap, negative publicity. I think he’s a heck of a good athlete. I think he’s maligned because of his religious stance.” — Wes Banta, Rawlins, Wyo.

“I think he’s going to be a dangerous threat. He’s going to be a very good tight end, if they use him that way.” — Chad Hellman, Colorado Springs

Meat don’t fail me now This one goes out to the ones I love. This one goes out to the ones I grill out back. An 80-20 to occupy my time. This one goes out to the ones I love. There sure are a lot of new television programs dedicated to hamburgers. Each one makes my mouth water. The variety of hamburgers in America is benumbing. Harry and Shirley Smith always made what amounted to the Little Hamburgers of the Poor. We didn’t even have caramelized red onions back then. It was just a disk of brown meat on a fundamental bun with a swipe of mustard. Take it or leave it. I took it. But since then I have discovered there’s much, much more out there. Each of these programs gives a little history, where the name “hamburger” came from, and where and when the sandwich was introduced in the United States. None of that makes my mouth water, but it is informative. You can find out where and when the first cheeseburger came along. Likewise, the first double-decker. There are some franchises that will give you three, four or five patties, and the phone number of a good cardiologist. My hamburger awakening happened in 1965 in Westwood, Calif., at a restaurant called Hamburger Hamlet. There’s still a bunch of them around the country. They were started by an actor (therefore Hamlet) named Harry Lewis, who died in 2013 at 93. Rest in peace, Harry. You changed my hamburger life. The Hamlet burgers were ahead of their time. They were lavished with toppings that were unusual then, and common today. My favorite was the Number 11, which came with cheese, and get this, bacon. You can get the same thing almost anywhere now, but 48 years ago that was a big deal. Harry’s most familiar role was in the Bogart-Bacall film “Key Largo.” He played one of Edward G. Robinson’s thugs, Edward “Toots” Bass. He and his wife Marilyn opened their first Hamlet in 1950 with their savings, $3,500; they sold the franchise in 1997 for $33 million. I didn’t go to the restaurant very often. I couldn’t afford to. The hamburgers were about five times more expensive than what I was used to. But whenever my father was

in town that’s where we went first. He paid. If you watch one of these new programs, like “Burger Land,” you will see a menu of head-shaking combinations. There are burgers that come with fries, right on top of the meat. There’s one restaurant that doesn’t grill their burgers. They are deep-fried in 100-year-old grease. They are fished out of the grease and placed on a bun that acts like a sponge. Even so, most customers get a side order of mops. There’s a cheeseburger that is made with the cheese in the middle, so when you bite into it the cheese appears for the first time. Louis’ Lunch in New Haven, Conn., claims to be the birthplace of the hamburger. They use the same vertical castiron gas stoves that they used in 1898. The burgers are unique because they are served on slices of toasted white bread. And the owners won’t allow mustard, ketchup, or mayonnaise. The place is always on top 10 lists of America’s best hamburgers. In-N-Out burgers make a few of the lists, and I don’t know why. I wasn’t impressed. But a member of Denver’s City Council was, and he has started a campaign to get the California-based franchise to open up to Colorado. Albus Brooks is councilman for District 8. Have you ever had a White Castle? It’s 180 degrees from my Number 11, but when I was in high school, you could buy 10 (10) for a dollar. If you’re confused by “an 80-20,” it refers to the best beef-to-fat ratio for a great hamburger, and it’s time for one right now. You too?

how to comfort others. We heartily commend all the people, agencies and organizations that always step up so quickly to help others. Fairground facilities and associated volunteers were so quick to take in animals, and donated food and essentials always seem to show up pronto. We are not surprised at the energy and commitment of volunteers and firefighters — who are always at the ready. That’s Colorado. Many of these seasoned vets also are not surprised by the wildfires, and even express surprise that wildfires don’t happen more often. Various ways to reduce wild-

fires are discussed, but increased preventive measures is a talk for another time. But for today, we simply commend all who are so ready, willing and able to help. And for those wanting to donate or volunteer, please seek out your local agencies, or more broadly, the American Red Cross is a good place to start by visiting www.redcross.org/co/denver or calling 1-800-REDCROSS. But before reaching out with helping hands, be sure to cover your own bases too — sign up for your respective county emergency alert system, have a kit prepared for emergencies and be ready to leave quickly in case of emergency. Safety first.

Uncluttering, hoarding, and cleaning the house A little over a month ago we had a garage sale at my home. We had been preparing for it for several months, actually ever since our last garage sale. We went through the closets, the storage spaces, the crawl space, the basement and the garage looking for everything we could possibly sell or donate. So as we got closer to the actual day of the garage sale, my garage could have easily been mistaken as the garage of a hoarder as it was completely filled. And filled with stuff that I have no idea where it came from or that we even had any longer. Where does it all come from? Anyway, the garage sale was a success and whatever wasn’t sold was taken to Goodwill. My garage was once again cleaned out and the producers of that television show about hoarding stopped

calling my home. Well, then we decided to put my home on the market and try and sell it. We had the Realtor and the professional “stager” come and let us know what we needed to do to get the house in shape for pictures and for showings. Now keep in mind, we had just uncluttered the house and got rid Norton continues on Page 11

letter to the editor Exchange student wraps up visit I have a story I would like to share with you. I am a 17-year-old Finnish girl, my name is Miia. I have lived in the U.S.A. for 10 months. I am a foreign exchange student. I arrived on Aug. 9, 2012; the day I will never forget; my nervousness and then relief when I found my host mom at the airport. My exchange year got a kick-off, four days after my arrival I went to high school, and soon I met my wonderful friends. I got over Christmas, not without tears though. I met other exchange students at orientations that my organization, Youth for Understanding, has three times over the year. We have supported each other and I believe we will be lifelong friends. The spring has gone by really fast, and now I have only a week left in the U.S.A., and I

I know what I want from my future, I appreciate my family and my heritage a lot more, and I have learned to say “I love you.” Next year, my family will host an exchange student from Germany to give the same amazing experience for her that my host families have given to me.

Every battle has spiritual element y

“A fire never says, `Enough.’ ” Those words are found in the Bible en— Proverbs chapter 30, verse 16 — and I . believe them! Fires consume, and the hotter they get the hungrier they get. The more o they burn the more they want, and the or stronger they get the more they take. genHere we are again. Another event that d challenges our value systems, causes us to g feel unsafe and brings grief to our souls has g hit us again. out This time it is not a bomb at a marathon our or a batch of tornadoes in a nearby state, ecbut a consuming fire in our own back yard. ave a The events keep coming. ady Maybe some of the people reading this column are experiencing loss in the first person — it was your house, or your friend or neighbor who died. I am sorry for your loss and I pray for your comfort and recovery. It seems there is often an adversary to oppose, steal and destroy the beautiful things that enrich our lives with pleasure and peace. Bodies are harmed, possessions are

g, e

damaged or destroyed and beauty that took years to mature needs to start all over again, first with healing as black washes away and time to wait for new green grass and seedlings to emerge that take a lifetime to turn into beautiful trees. What happens to our spirit in these tragedies is a major part of the story — perhaps the main part. When I was writing “Welcome to the Big Leagues,” I discovered how fiery the competition is against each of us. Most of the time it is from outside events and other people who, knowingly or unknowingly, fill the role of tragedy, competitor or villain in our lives. Sometimes

it is subversive doubt or fear that grows in our own minds. We compete against ourselves when it emerges with anxiety and dread that hinders our perspective and hope. Trained and professional firefighters, police, National Guard and strong and valiant citizens fight a fire to keep it from consuming more. The fire will not say, “enough” until it is forced to stop or until it runs out of fuel. I see the spiritual battles and competition for faith in these events. St. Paul, in Ephesians chapter 6, described the threat to a life of faith as a battle from the forces of evil. “We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, rulers of the darkness of this world … Take the shield of faith to repel the fiery arrows of the enemy.” Beyond the obvious damage of the bombs, tornadoes and fires is the competition against our souls. Other times, the tragedies are metaphors for the work of our adversary though divorce, bankruptcy,

illness, drugs, rumors and wars. If we don’t fight the enemy, it will continue to consume more of our lives. Not all battles are spiritual, but there is a spiritual part to every battle. When the churches of our town teach on the attacks of Satan, the effectiveness of prayer, the power of worship they are helping people fight the fires in their own lives. It is easy to use the cliché, on a day filled with irritating problems, “I was putting out fires today.” But, after living here through the Hayman Fire, the Waldo Canyon Fire and now the Black Forest Fire, that expression means a lot more. Instead I want to stand in the protection of Jesus and say, “Fire, enough!” Dan Hettinger is director of pastoral services at Hospice of Saint John and president of The Jakin Group, a ministry of encouragement, especially to Christian workers.

Summer doldrums may affect markets

Most asset managers have been wishing for the stock market to experience a downturn and give the momentum from the first four months of the year a breather. This sounds strange, since usually you would want the stock market to soar and me help make portfolio returns look better. ad But stock prices have been climbing and r” there has been no decent correction of 5 to percent or more. Cyclical corrections are necessary to help build a better foundation es we for future growth. Investors buying in on rid dips in the market have had good results. And these dips usually happen in the sumge 11 mer months. Earnings have been positive for the last 11 quarters now, giving strong support to the double-digit equities returns of the first quarter. Unfortunately, the nice returns on the stock market are not mirrored in the bond market. In fact, bonds have started to erode on worries the Federal Reserve Board may start to reduce their current bond buying program, hence purposely shrinking the money supply. The anticipation of this gradual end to Quantitative Easing Three has added significant volatility to every asset class in the last few weeks. Some analysts have observed that investors are buying “bond-like” equities or dividend paying stocks to help boost

of a ton of stuff. Only to now be told that we would have to unclutter even more to make the home more appealing. We worked for days, filled more bins, and now my garage can once again qualify as a disaster area or hoarder’s paradise. As we went through these days of uncluttering after having already uncluttered, I found myself wondering how much “stuff” I was still holding onto in my head and in my heart that could use a little more uncluttering. I mean I pretty much practice goal-setting and when I complete a project or task I move on to the pursuit of the next thing that I need to tackle. That’s the easy part. But what about the missed opportunities, the losses, the wins or trophies of yesterday that have long since held any relevance? What about the arguments or disagree-

income potential as bonds lose value. It did not pay to be a conservative or a defensive investor so far in 2013. Conservative investors usually like fixed-income assets such as government and corporate bonds. In a very long period of record low interest rates, some bond buyers started taking on more risk than normal just to get a consistent return. This may include buying high-yield bonds, which carry more risk due to the low credit rating of these bonds that are often called “junk.” Defensive investors who fell in love with gold last year have experienced more volatility in precious metals than the stock market in the last year. No wonder investors are confused. There seems to be no place to go. After a stellar first quarter, which was similar to the previous three years, stocks and bonds alike are starting to fall asleep in the sum-

ments that happened so long ago that they no longer carry any meaning? As I thought about and worked on uncluttering the physical items in my home, I began multi-tasking and uncluttering the things that were taking up space in the most important parts of my being, my head and my heart. If you feel like you are holding on to things mentally, emotionally, or physically, maybe even to the point of hoarding, do yourself a favor and clean house. Start uncluttering and removing the unnecessary, opening up opportunities to spend more time with the people and on those things in life that are truly the most important to us. If you know what I am talking about, I would love to hear all about how you have uncluttered and cleaned house in your own homes, hearts and minds at gotonorton@gmail.com.

mer heat. The lull between earnings season in April and back to school in September has set in. Without much economic data during this time along with a possibility of most of the air leaking out of the Federal Reserve life raft, investors may have to wait and see how their holdings will perform when summer is over. These types of cycles are normal and healthy. You don’t want a stock market that only goes up or you would never find new opportunities. You don’t want interest rates to stay at zero indefinitely or you’ll never earn anything on short-term savings. Therefore

it is best to go off and enjoy your summer months with other activities and let the markets take a breather.

Protesters picket school fundraiser Most people outside gathering oppose board, administration By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com The nearly 200 guests at the first Love Our Schools luncheon were greeted by about 70 protesters as they drove into the parking lot of Lone Tree’s Denver Marriott South hotel on June 14. On the south side of the hotel entrance, more than 60 parents and students held signs expressing disappointment in Douglas County School Board decisions and district-level changes. On the north side, about seven people displayed signs in support of the board and Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen, and one man chanted pro-district cheers through a megaphone. Both sets of protesters lined the sidewalk in front of the hotel before and after the lunch, a fundraising event for DCSD coordinated by the Douglas County Educational Foundation. While no pro-board supporters were willing to identify themselves, parent and former DCSD

spokeswoman Susan Meek spoke for the larger group. Meek said the gathering was prompted by an effort earlier in the week to learn more about the Starboard Group, a Greenwood Village-based company that helped coordinate the lunch. The Starboard Group coordinates events and campaigns for nonprofits and political clients. DCEF has a small staff and outsources some of its event planning, said chairwoman Amy Sherman, adding she has used the Starboard Group in the past. “They do a great job,” she said. But Meek, who made an unsuccessful fall 2011 run for school board and recently stepped down as vice president of the grassroots Strong Schools Coalition, said she was concerned because of the Starboard Group’s work with political candidates and groups. She and other parents wanted to know how money raised from the lunch would be spent. But Meek said repeated questions about those financial details by several community members weren’t satisfactorily answered, triggering concerns about district transparency and prompting the June 14 protest.

A handful of people demonstrated in support of the Douglas County School District, standing on a street corner across from the anti-board demonstrators at the Lone Tree Marriott hotel June 14. Photo by Jane Reuter Standing in front of the Marriott, Meek cited “a lack of transparency between several groups that are clearly partisan, political groups, and the school district. “We’re here today to thank the people for supporting our schools, but we’re asking them to demand transparency.” Starboard Group public relations director Joe Megyesy said all money raised during the lunch will go to the DCEF. “It is absolutely accurate we have raised money for conservative causes and candidates,” he said. “We also fundraise for Food

Bank of the Rockies.” Parent Jim Cloud cited a different reason for his participation in the protest. “I want to do my part to see that the school board that has done everything they can to destroy trust with parents, taxpayers and the community is replaced this November,” he said. Four of the seven school board seats will be up for election this fall. School board member Doug Benevento, who attended the lunch, said the protest was “in poor taste.” “There’s a time for politics,” he said. “This isn’t it.” Board member Meghann Silverthorn said the DCEF’s hiring of the Starboard Group was not an issue. “That just happens to be who

the foundation contracted with,” she said. “Emotions around things that are going on in the district are higher than they’ve been in a long time.” DCSD spokeswoman Cinamon Watson had stronger words for the protesters. “The fact they would politicize an event meant to raise money in this district was abysmal,” she said. “I think what they did was really over the line and tragic.” Watson responded to some of the concerned parent’s questions in emails and on the DCSD Facebook page, but parents said her answers were incomplete. “I don’t think any kind of response would have been enough for this group,” Watson said. “They’re chasing a rabbit down a rabbit hole. There’s nothing there.”

‘Love Our Schools’ event draws about 200 Superintendent lauded as district’s ‘iron lady’ By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com The Love Our Schools luncheon, a debut fundraising event for the Douglas County School District, drew about 200 of the area’s most influential business people and decision-makers to the Denver Marriott South in Lone Tree on June 14. The event was coordinated by the Douglas County Educational Foundation, DCSD’s fundraising organization. The gathering included addresses by state Rep. Frank McNulty of Highlands Ranch, Douglas

County School Board President John Carson and Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen, along with presentations on the district’s outdoor education program and other programs. McNulty praised the school board for major changes it’s recently made within the district. “Our schools are great,” he said. “But they don’t remain that way without leadership, without innovation.” Carson also reviewed a list of accomplishments before turning the program over to Fagen, whose leadership qualities he likened to recently deceased British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. He introduced Fagen as “the iron lady” of DCSD.

fourth time in Nationals on the track, built on a section of Lynn’s Ranch and Campground. As a 7-year-old, Britt won the national championship in his age group. He has captured seven state titles in the past five years. “We race every weekend,” said Cade’s mother, Julie. “When we’re not away racing, we race locally.” Britt’s father, Shane, is a former motocross competitor and it didn’t take long for Cade to follow in his father’s footsteps. “Motocross racing is in their blood,” said Julie. “His dad trained him when he was 3 on how to ride a motorcycle. His dad continues to train him. When he’s on the bike, his dad trains him. Off the bike, I train him. I do the workout stuff like the treadmill, push-ups and sit-ups.” Cade rides a Cobra 65 and will be competing in the 7-9 and 7-11 age divisions.

WHERE COLLECTORS AND COLLECTIONS COME TOGETHER.

“The Amateur Nationals at Loretta Lynn’s is the event every motocross racer in the country wants to compete in,” said event director Tim Cotter. “It’s really a lot of fun,” said Cade. “I get to hang out with my friends down there. I like to go fast. I like to jump and I like to go fast down the straightaways. Motocross racing is very fun.” Although many youth sports can be injurious, riding in a motocross race seems to be a more dangerous activity. “We do a lot to protect Cade with neck braces and all the correct gear to keep him as safe as possible,” said Julie. “He loves the sport so much that not allowing him to do it would be worse than anything than could happen on the track. “Motocross racing was in his father’s blood. It’s in his blood. So we take all the necessary precautions and he loves it so we don’t take it away from him because of our fears.”

Money Matters:

Ac A Ju

What is a PMI and will I need it? P

rimary mortgage insurance, or PMI, protects lenders in the event that borrowers default on their primary mortage by ceasing to make payments, resulting in homes ending up in foreclosure. But all borrowers do not have to pay PMI. Typically, home buyers must make a 20 percent down payment on a home when they buy it. However, some borrowers are unable to put down 20 percent. In such instances, the lender will require they

pay PMI. This is because the lender views a borrower who cannot make an initial 20 percent down payment as a riskier investment, and lenders charge PMI in an effort to protect themselves should the borrower prove worthy of their skepticism. PMI will be factored into the monthly mortgage payment, but borrowers should know they do not have to continue paying PMI once they have paid enough toward the principal amount of the loan.

8 Little 303

acad

APC

For most, this means once they have paid 20 percent of the principal, then they can ask that the monthly PMI payment be removed. Many borrowers are unaware of this or even forget to ask, but it’s within their rights as borrowers and can save a substantial amount of money over the course of the mortgage loan. ■

Method

For the cake:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease an 8-inch springform pan. Set aside. 2. Sift together the 2 cups of flour, the baking powder and the salt. Set aside. Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg. Add the flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with the milk. Toss the beries with the remaining 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour (to separate and scatter evenly throughout the batter) and fold in. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Set aside. 3. Combine ingredients for topping with a fork to make crumbly mixture. Sprinkle this over the batter. 4. Bake for one hour, then test for doneness by gently inserting a fork. If it does not come out clean, give the cake another 5 to 10 minutes to bake. 5. When the cake has cooled, run a knife around the edges and lift the cake out of the pan. Serve with whipped cream.

-2 cups and 1-2 Tbsp of sifted, all purpose flour separated -2 teaspoons baking powder -1/2 teaspoon salt -1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened -3/4 cup sugar -1 large egg -1/2 cup milk -1 pint blueberries For the topping: -1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened -1/2 cup sugar -1/3 cup sifted all purpose flour -1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Five-Spice Turkey and Lettuce Wraps Ingredients -1/2 cup(s) water -1/2 cup(s) instant brown rice -2 teaspoon(s) sesame oil -1 pound(s) 93%-lean ground turkey -1 tablespoon(s) minced fresh ginger

Directions 1. Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add rice; reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. 2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add turkey and ginger; cook, crumbling with a wooden spoon, until the turkey is cooked through, about 6 minutes. Stir in the cooked

rice, bell pepper, water chestnuts, broth, hoisin sauce, five-spice powder and salt; cook until heated through, about 1 minute. 3. To serve, spoon portions of the turkey mixture into lettuce leaves, top with herbs and carrot and roll into wraps.

2. Melt the margarine and honey together in a small saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Do not let the sauce boil. 3. Thread a peach quarter, a plum quarter, a banana piece, and a strawberry onto each skewer. Place the skewers onto the foil on the preheated grill; spoon margarine-honey mixture over each skewer. 4. Grill until the fruit is softened and the sauce has thickened and cooked onto the fruit, about 5 minutes. Flip the skewers, spoon more margarine-honey sauce over each, and grill for about 5 more minutes on the other side.

Sculpture, fashion, performance

Nick Cave introduces ‘Sojourn’ in Denver

if you go “Sojourn” is on the second floor of the Hamilton Building at the DAM through Sept. 22. It is a ticketed exhibition. While there, seek out other elements of the extensive “SPUN.” See denverartmuseum.org or call 720-865-5000.

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com It’s colorful, whimsical, engaging, multi-sensory, mindbending …. Internationally acclaimed artist Nick Cave was in Denver to introduce his new exhibit, “Sojourn,” at the Denver Art Museum through Sept. 22. It’s a major piece of the campus-wide “SPUN,” a multifaceted look at textiles, tied in with the opening of new textile galleries on the sixth floor of the North Building. The ebullient Cave led a walk through the exhibit on June 6, offering some insight on how he thinks to assemble an astonishing collection of sculptural works, which often start with a thrift store or flea market find. He continually visits these markets around the world. To the left of the entrance to the second-floor Anschutz Galleries is a screen showing dancers in Cave’s trademark bodysuits. The entry and first gallery are wallpapered in a bright red design, created with images of the colorful vintage ceramic birds that inhabit Cave’s world. An antique baptismal font is the basis for a sculptural piece, topped with a fantastic branching structure filled with birds, flowers and miscellany. Next is a long, narrow gallery connected by a wall and canopy of button-covered screen — each button sewn on individually, by hand. A platform runs the length of the gallery, carrying figures in white bodysuits — each different, most covered with buttons. The face on one is made from a burial wreath

Nick Cave is an internationally known artist. Courtesy photo by James Prinz Photography found at a Paris flea market. “The button is a way of embellishment, a way of adorning the body,” Cave observed. Craftsmanship is meticulous throughout the exhibit. Cave has about eight assistants who come with the needed skills to the studio in the loft building where he lives, and he contracts with fabricators in the Chicago area who understand his methods and design sense. Materials include fabrics, metals, knickknacks, wood, furniture pieces and much more. “The level of

commitment to quality is the way I feel the work has to be handled,” Cave said. Next, viewers see a huge tonga, a round piece, called “Constellation,” created from black, sparkly bits of sweaters and other garments, sewn together and stretched on a frame. He was thinking of childhood nights on the farm where he and his six brothers would lie on their backs looking at the starry sky. A departure from the trademark Soundsuits — wearable

fabric sculptures — is a series he calls “Rescues.” It opens a “new vocabulary and another form of commitment.” It started with finding a large white ceramic poodle — his assistant Bob Faust saw it — and then they found a regal plaster Doberman. “We’ve got to find a gold sofa,” Cave decided, and tells of asking a shop owner if he could bring his dog in to try it out. That Doberman is in the show with an arched canopy including a chandelier, branches, flowers and more — as are five other dogs and a monkey — all rescued and in protective spaces. A series of four huge “paintings” appear together, also assemblages of many objects and each backed by an afghan. “I was thinking about fashion, the opulence of life — just glam. Then the more mystical and magical …” Another installation of multi-colored and textured Soundsuits on a platform led to his comment that “this is my playground.” Each is distinctive and all can be worn. They “evolve in the studio from textiles sought out around the world.” Finally, the viewer enters “Drive By,” a darkened room with videos of dancers in Soundsuits and images of his often-used crocheted doilies on the floor. (We observed delighted children trying to hop from one to another. This exhibit is a wonderful introduction to art for young ones.)

Fifteen Denver-area chefs were fired up June 12 to compete for top slider honors during the fifth annual Hot Rocks Griller Challenge at Elway’s Cherry Creek, a benefit for the Denver Health Foundation. Roughly 1,000 attendees scarfed down sliders made from between-the-bun ingredients that varied from wild boar (Elise Wiggins, Panzano) to country ham with pickled green tomato (Jennifer Jasinski, Rioja, Bistro Vendome, Euclid Hall) to grilled watermelon (Paul Reilly, Beast + Bottle). The winners of the slider smackdown were determined by popular vote as well as chefs’ choice. People’s choice: First — Tyler Wiard and Aniedra Nichols of Elway’s Cherry Creek. Second — Troy Guard of TAG, TAG Raw Bar and TAG Burger Bar. Third — Steve Ballas of Steve’s Snappin’ Dogs. Chefs’ choice: First — Troy Guard. Second — Max MacKissock of Squeaky Bean. Third — Jennifer Jasinski of Rioja, Bistro Vendome and Euclid Hall. Worth noting: I’ve attended all five Hot Rocks events, and this year the chefs kicked it up a notch on the side dishes that accompanied the sliders. Standouts included Guard’s five-grain salad, Robert Bogart’s (Elway’s Downtown) potato and black bean salad (I heard one slider slurper say, “I wish I could buy that stuff!”), Reilly’s braised collard greens and Jasinski’s mixed melon salad.

Hollywood transforms Denver

Did the Paramount Theatre, downtown Denver’s historical performance center, change its name to Paramount New York? It did for one day. On June 12, Hollywood moved east to the Mile High City to shoot the feature film “Dear Eleanor,” starring Jessica Alba, Luke Wilson, Paul Johansson, Ione Skye, Patrick Schwarzenegger and Isabelle Fuhrman. The production caused quite a stir among downtown workers and passersby who spotted the new name on the marquee as well as all the vintage automobiles parked along Glenarm Place. The storyline follows two best friends who travel cross-country in the 1960s to meet Eleanor Roosevelt, their childhood hero. Other Denver venues playing cameo roles in the movie are LoDo and the Mayan Theater. One local notable who landed a part in the film is Rekha Ohal, the exotic and lovely piano player who is a regular at Elway’s Cherry Creek. Ohal posted on her Facebook page: “My gig today: playing the part of a piano player in 1962 for a movie that’s being filmed in Denver. At least I know how to play the piano! The rest I’ll have to figure out as I go along.” For more details on the Denver-centric movie, go to www.onlocationvacations. com/2013/06/12/dear-eleanor-starringjessica-alba-spotted-filming-in-downtown-denver-co-today/.

McMurphy (Scott Bellot) lock pinkies and repeat this nonsense rhyme that gives the play its name. Based on a novel by Ken Kesey, adapted for the stage by Dale Wasserman, “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” premiered on Broadway in 1964. It has had two revivals and a film version based on the novel. The Edge Theatre Company stages a well-thought-out revival of this enduring play through June 30, with a starring turn by Scott Bellot as the high-strung Randle P. McMurphy, who thought commitment as a psychopath might be easier to tolerate than the prison farm — so he convinced the powers that be that he was insane. “Which of you is the Bull Goose Looney?” he demands. “I’m next in line for the job. Take me to your leader,” he tells an as-

That would be the scholarly Harding (Ken Street), who heads the patient council and explains that “we are the curables. Over

there are the chronics.” McMurphy proceeds to organize card games, basketball, TV watching and more, and becomes especially close with the Chief, who has been pretending to be deaf

and dumb. Director Rick Yaconis has worked well with a fairly large cast for the space available, although some of the guys on the ward overact a bit. Each is an individual with a distinct ailment. And then, there is the evil Nurse Ratched, played chillingly by Jada Roberts. A clash is inevitable. Her eyes glitter. “For me, it is a timeless story about a struggle for power and control that rings true in any year,” Yaconis writes. “It’s also a deeply moving and hilarious play with a sensitive core topic of mental disorders and inadequacies that the people who suffer from them feel.” This is an appropriate choice in a time of increased public conversation about treatment of mental illnesses — and the lack thereof. McMurphy gives new life to the patients who are living in fear of the controlling nurse. Bellot’s performance alone is well worth the ticket price.

‘Tradition’ and Tevye at LUMC Dancers bring ‘Sacred Spaces II’ to Parker

‘Fiddler on the Roof ’ to play in sanctuary

Program samples ancient cultures around world

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews. com A large cast of community actors is rehearsing under the direction of Kelly and David Kates, polishing a production of the much-loved, Tony Award-winning musical “Fiddler on the Roof,” which will play June 27 to 30 in the sanctuary of Littleton United Methodist Church. The 60-member cast ranges in age from 5 to 75, with Vince Guerrie in the role of Tevye, who wants his five daughters to observe all the traditions he holds dear. Alex Raab, a teacher at Centennial Fine Arts Academy in Littleton, an accomplished violinist and a church member, inspired Kelly to propose “Fiddler.” “And,” she said, “it’s ideal for a church.” Set in Czarist Russia, the little village of Anatevka’s Jewish families are under pressure to change or leave. Tevye and his wife Golde (Kelly Jo Eldredge) watch as their daughters find outside influences, and boyfriends, instead of the match suggested by a matchmaker. Life as they

The musical, which opened for a long run on Broadway in 1964, was written by Jerry Bock (music), Sheldon Harnick (lyrics) and Joseph Stein (book), based on a story by Sholem Aleichem: “Tevye and his Daughters.” While Kelly directed a Broadway musical two years ago at LUMC (“Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat”), and has considerable experience with choreographing them at Town Hall Arts Center, this is David’s first go at a Broadway show — a switch from the complex choral arrangements he directs for his church choirs.

nights. Some, Kelly said, are experienced, but many are not accustomed to singing and moving simultaneously. There aren’t the community theater opportunities available that used to exist for children or adults, Kelly added. This experience fills that need in the community as well as providing help for a worthy project. While admission is free, donations will be welcomed and they will go to Field Elementary School’s Food Pantry — a new project for the church to support. A total of 82 percent of the children enrolled at Field receive free and reduced cost lunches. They take home weekend supplies to share.

Zikr Dance Ensemble’s performances range “from Ancient Ritual to Contemporary Ballet,” according to the ensemble’s website. “The ensemble offers a spectrum of works that are based on transcendent dance rituals from many different ancient world cultures throughout history along with original and contemporary dance/theater realizations,” said Artistic Director David Taylor. He has had a strong interest in sacred dances from around the world for many years. Spiritual tolerance and multicultural understanding are hoped-for outcomes. Zikr Dance Ensemble, which participated in the opening of Parker’s PACE Center in 2012, will bring “Sacred Spaces II” to the stage in Parker on June 28 and 29. Taylor fears there is some misunderstanding due to the similarity to last year’s title — “Sacred Spaces.” This is a new show, he said, and includes a world premiere of “Field of Fire,” which he choreographed. Also new will be two Gurdjieff sacred movements, which will be staged by na-

They are “Shouting Dervish” and “Dance of the Brotherhood of Olbogmek.” Gurdjieff traveled through central Asia and in Africa, learning about sacred dances, and then returned to teach the moves to his students, who carry on the tradition today. Also on the program: David Taylor’s ballets “In Your Eyes,” “Time’s Up” and “Guides,” and a new duet and solo entitled “Psalms.” Among the professional dancers who will appear are five from the Colorado Ballet. Projections and lighting will weave magic on the back and floor of the stage, while music plays and dancers perform ancient and modern works in a multi-media production. Taylor, in addition to directing the Zikr Ensemble, is school director and on the faculty of Denver Ballet School and on the faculty of Colorado State University’s dance department. He was founder of the David Taylor Dance Theatre.

Dyslexic Mensa tells his life story in book Author shares memories of struggle, triumph By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcolorado news.com For most of his life, Glenn Harrington had a secret. He couldn’t read. It was a secret that never got in the way, though, just one that forced him to work harder and develop his own systems in order to succeed. At 17, he enlisted in the Air Force in order to bypass the last six weeks of high school, admittedly knowing he wouldn’t be able to pass his finals. By working this “con,” as he called it, he was able to accomplish three important things. First, by enlisting when he did during the Korean War, he was able to forgo the mandatory four years of reserve service that would have come after his four years of enlisted service. Second, by leaving high school with a 72 average in order to serve his country, Harrington’s principal awarded him his diploma. But perhaps most importantly, in the Air Force, Harrington discovered a passion for teaching, and realized he was good at it. It was this experience, teaching other airmen about mechanics, that led him to two degrees in geology and a life of teaching. But how could he teach without being able to read beyond a fourth-grade level? That marvelous story is depicted in the 80-year-old Harrington’s book, “Two Lives in One: The Struggles and Triumphs of a Dyslexic Mensa.” Harrington resides in

Melva and Glenn Harrington have been through a lot together, including 61 years of marriage and a lifelong secret kept by Glenn that he reads at a fourthgrade level. The former college professor and member of the American Mensa Society learned he was dyslexic 10 years ago and has published a book, “Two Lives in One: The Struggles and Triumphs of a Dyslexic Mensa.” Courtesy photo Highlands Ranch with his wife, Melva, whom he met in high school in Baytown, Texas. He never understood what dyslexia was or that he had the condition until 10 years ago. It was four years ago that he learned he was something else too, a Mensa. Harrington is in the 99.6th percentile for intelligence. “I developed my own system of learning,” he says. “I was using this elevated IQ that I didn’t know I had all these years. I could learn but I had to learn a different way.” Harrington’s life includes years of teaching public school, at a junior college, and as a naturalist working for the National Park Service. Understanding that he was different — and that he had never received individualized attention or understanding growing up in the era he did — led him to utilize patience and make

himself constantly available on or off the clock for his own students. Learning he was dyslexic at the age of 70, and living a life without reading in a world of readers, has led him to another place, and one that is somewhat ironic. Harrington, despite having never having read a book cover to cover, is now an author. “The purpose of the book is encouragement,” he said, “to encourage other people that are dyslexic that you can succeed and you can live a full life without reading. You can’t crawl off into a corner and feel sorry for yourself. If you have a problem, I don’t care if it is dyslexia or money or what, you have to embrace that problem. “You will see miracles happen.” Harrington’s book is available in paperback and for Kindle at www.amazon. com.

Used Book Sale

By Sonya Ellingboe

In the 1980s, Lee Bruer and Bob Telson created a truly unique and moving production: “The Gospel at Colonus,” from Sophocles’ tragedy, “Oedipus at Colonus,” setting it in a black Pentecostal church. Morgan Freeman and the Blind Boys of Alabama were involved in the early casting. In 1991 Denver’s black theater company, Eulipions, performed it at the Buell and at Denver Botanic Gardens. This summer, Denver audiences have another opportunity to see this poetic,

“Gospel at Colonus” cast members perform at Denver’s Su Teatro Cultural and Performing Arts Center. Courtesy photo colorful production in a collaboration between Source Theatre, led by Hugo Sayles, and Su Teatro, under Tony Garcia. “Gospel at Colonus,” with a large talented cast, dressed in bright African robes, just lifts the roof at Su Teatro Cultural and Performing Arts Center on Denver’s Santa Fe Drive, featuring a choir and a roster of wonderful soloists along with a band. Jimmy Walker, who was in the earlier Denver production, is director and the audience is part of the act, entirely engaged as they can’t resist clapping along with the infectious music.

Source is a next step for actors who were involve in Jeffry Nicholson’s Shadow Theatre, which was not able to continue after his death. There is a long history of interaction and mutual support between the 41-yearold Su Teatro and the black theater community, and this is a glorious comingtogether, with members of both troupes onstage. One wishes there were more time to get the word out about this remarkable production, which only runs until June 30. I would urge readers in search of rewarding theater to head to the Santa Fe Arts District soon!

Old-style bats are wave of future Wood becoming more prevalent in summer games

‘I like using wooden bats because the power off the bats is like the pros.’ Brandon Kryzanski

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com The sound of the crack of the bat has replaced the ping in many baseball games this summer. More U18, U17 and U16 baseball games and tournaments are being contested using wooden bats rather than aluminum bats. “They’ve had this for a few years now,” said Cherry Creek U17 Connie Mack coach Jeff Mielnicki. “It’s great. The games are a lot shorter, there’s more strategy, teams are bunting more, and they are playing baseball the old-fashioned way, getting runners on, moving them over and getting them in.” There has been a trend of going back to wooden bats, mostly for safety reasons. The wood versus metal debate has been raging for years and will likely continue. Baseballs come off metal bats faster, and that trampoline effect makes it hard for pitchers, coaches and infielders to defend themselves from balls hit towards them. Aluminum bats are generally easier to swing and have a larger sweet spot or center of percussion. New BBCOR (Batted Ball Co-Efficient Of Restitution) regulations state the ball exit speed ratio can’t exceed .728 because that is the point at which a pitcher loses his ability to protect himself. Players using wooden bats have to develop good hitting fundamentals because the bats don’t produce as many cheap hits as with metal bats. However, wooden bats break more easily than their metal counterparts. Pro-aluminum-bat advocates and companies argue that hitting with metal bats these days is more like using wooden bats and the astronomical scores of many games have been reduced.

“With the new BBCOR regulations, the metal bats are much more like wooden bats compared to two or three years ago,” said Ponderosa coach Jarod Nicholson. “Three or four years ago they were swinging lightning rods and balls were flying out of parks everywhere. We don’t see that any more. I thought it would be a more obvious change. “For me, the guys that should hit home runs still hit home runs with BBCOR bats. It’s probably the guys that shouldn’t don’t anymore. That’s probably the biggest difference.” Many programs like Ponderosa’s use wooden bats in the summer, fall and preseason workouts to stress hitting fundamentals that must be solid to be a good hitter with a wooden bat. “Hitters are learning two things,” said Mielnicki. “They need to keep their nose down and focus more on the sweet part of the barrel. They are finding not only are they not getting the cheap hit, they are breaking their bats. We do a lot of tee work, focusing on the barrel. “What we have found over the last few years, at least on my teams, we have some players that have better averages in the spring and not as good in the summer. And some of the average players actually have better averages in the summer because they adjust better for some reason.” Nicholson claims hitting with wooden bats helps his players. “It does make them better,” he said. “It’s one of those things where the kids aren’t swinging for the fence with wooden bats. I like that. I tell our kids I’d rather have them hit a line drive in the gap. That’s kind of our philosophy here. It makes kids stay within

their shoes a little bit.” Chaparral summer coach Ryan Serena agrees. “Wood bats help players refine their swings,” he said. “You don’t get as many cheap hits with wood. I think it’s good to use wood. The players do, except when they break the bat. It’s an $80 swing of the bat.” Cherry Creek right fielder and pitcher Jack Gillet enjoys hitting with a wooden bat. “When you use wooden bats, it is a different kind of game at the plate,” he explained. “The wooden bats do make you focus on executing the right way in order to drive the ball hard.” Ponderosa’s Brandon Kryzanski claims you have to learn how to hit with a wooden bat. “I like using wooden bats because the power off the bat is like the pros,” said Kryzanski. “It’s just getting used to the wood bats. If pitchers pitch inside on me with wood bats that will break them, so it teaches you to get your hands through quicker so you don’t get jammed. Then you switch to a metal bat in the spring, and you get an inside pitch but your get your hands through quicker and it is going to go a lot farther than with a wood bat.” Eric Tokuyama of Ponderosa claims it is easier to identify the good hitters when everybody is using wooden bats. “Wood bats help you in the summer get your natural swing and you have to find the sweet sport,” he said. “It shows how good of a hitter you really are.” Blake Goldsberry, a shortstop and pitcher for Cherry Creek, prefers aluminum bats. “Wooden bats are OK but they break

pretty easily,” he said. “Personally, I prefer the aluminum bat because you get more pop and drive the ball farther than you do with a similar hit with a wooden bat.” Jim Haag owns Haag Bat Co. in Parker, and his sales of wooden bats have swelled this year. The company sells four models of wood composite bats that are manufactured with fiberglass fabric reinforced outer layers, bonded on with a waterproof resin. The bats, which sell for $120, come with a fourmonth, 120-day replacement warranty policy. “This is our tenth year of business,” said Haag, whose son Alex played at Ponderosa and Regis College. “We’re anti-aluminum. We look at it as wood is the best thing for baseball. It makes them better hitters; if you can hit with wood, it’s a lot better for you. The next level, college and getting drafted, they want to see you hit with wood. The whole wood bat concept is growing. A lot of states are going to wood only, no metal. “This is our best year ever. The first three months of this year, we’ve sold more wood composite bats than we did in the first nine years. The economy is better, we’re out into different states, colleges in Arizona and we’re one of the approved vendors in New Mexico with their high schools. We’ve done over $100,000 in sales this year.” New Mexico, North Dakota and schools in New York City have banned the use of metal bats. Massachusetts and Montana introduced proposals to eliminate aluminum bats in high school games, but neither passed. No proposals to use wood-only bats in spring baseball for boys or girls softball in the fall have been presented to the Colorado High School Activities Association’s Board of Control. “What I would love to see is high school baseball with wood bats and to play nine innings,” said Nicholson. “Wood bat games are significantly quicker and faster, so to me that would be the best of both worlds, to play with wood bats for nine innings, that’s real baseball.”

Gun club aims to free up reservations $10 million expansion could alleviate backlog By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com Frustrated gun enthusiasts may soon be able to reserve a firing lane at Centennial’s most popular indoor gun club. Centennial Gun Club, 6549 S. Paris St., recently broke ground on a $10 million expanded facility that, according to CEO and general manager Richard Abramson, will house 28 additional firing lanes, 5,000 square feet of new retail space, meeting rooms, a fireplace and an outdoor patio. With more than 1,500 members vying for time on just six indoor lanes, Abramson admits shooters of all levels find it hard to reserve space, a benefit that comes with gun club membership. Some members have even canceled pricey memberships due to the club’s reservation backlog. “And they just keep selling them — there’s always a line at the membership booth every weekend,” said gun enthusiast Mark Hines, who opted not to join the club at $30 per month, or pay the entry-level $347 initiation fee, until after the new facility opens. “I just can’t see blowing that kind of cash on something I’m not going to be able to ever get in to use.”

Centennial Gun Club CEO and general manager Richard Abramson says although he’s excited about the club’s new $10 million expansion now underway in Centennial, new gun laws in the state make Colorado a less attractive place for him to do business.

tmunds@ourcolorado news.com Jerry Nelson, pianist, composer, conductor and arranger, seeks singers to join him performing at the Aug. 11 concert at Denver First Church of the Nazarene. “The Rocky Mountain Praise Choir was established in the early 1990s and we did a concert and produced a CD about every two years until about 2000,” Nelson, a Centennial resident, said. “People have been asking, `Is the Rocky Mountain Praise Choir was history.’ Obviously, the answer is no, as we will be back in concert Aug. 11.” He said singers can receive more information about how to become part of the choir by sending an e-mail to Rachael@jerrynelsonmusic.com. “All singers who register will be sent a compact disc and music so they can rehearse on their own,” Nelson said. “We haven’t set the date, but I expect we will hold our first group rehearsal in early July and there will be a second one about 10 days later. That leaves about three weeks for singers to rehearse individually before we have a dress rehearsal Aug 10.” There will be no charge for admission but an offering will be taken. However, concert-goers who want to assured a seat can purchase reserved seats in the artists circle near the stage as well as tickets guaranteeing a seat if the performance is sold out. The talented interna-

tional performer also is releasing a new compact disc at the Aug. 11 performance called “Quiet Time Reflections” which is a collection of music performed by Nelson on the piano. He noted that a large portion of the proceeds from concerts and compact disc sales enable him and his wife, Rachael, to occasionally make trips to the Congo and Zimbabwe. On those African trips, Jerry performs concerts and his wife works with AIDS victims training youth peer groups. Together they also work on humanitarian programs such as economic water purification and the education for promising young people. Nelson noted the program for the concert would be a bit different than past performances. “Most of our past concerts included Broadway themes and popular songs along with songs of the church,” he said. “But the music for the Aug. 11 concerts will be traditional hymns of the church and gospel songs. Most people know the words to these songs so we will urge members of the audience to sing along with us.” He said he is hopeful the Aug. 11 event will be the first concert in a series of performances he and the Rocky Mountain Praise Choir will do at locations around Colorado and perhaps at venues in surrounding states. Jerry Nelson took his first piano lesson at seven, spent a decade in public school music before he became the Artist-in-Residence at Denver First Church of the Nazarene. Over the years, he created 5,000 arrangements, has written more than 50 songs and performed piano concerts nationally and internationally.

But having only six lanes was not the original plan. Abramson said plans for Centennial Gun Club date back to 2008, and included

a larger, more robust operation than what opened its doors in early 2012. “We had originally planned to have the larger facility,” explained Abramson. “But the collapse of Bear Sterns and the financial market made it difficult for just about anyone to secure large-scale financing.” So the club started small. “And based on what happened, it really was a good thing,” he added. “It gave us time to test our business model, provide proof of concept and to gain the confidence of lenders.” The club’s goal now is to transform itself from a local gun store to something more like a country club. Abramson is confident Centennial is the place to do it, saying the city is a “destination location” and has convenient access to private jet service at Centennial Airport. Top-level club memberships will include private access to a select group of shooting lanes targeted to captains of industry and professional athletes. Abramson said the new facility will add 21 jobs to the economy as well as improve traffic to nearby restaurants and businesses. But while the soft-spoken retired technology executive said there are plans to consider expanding to northern Denver, he’s not sure that will happen. “With all the changes in gun laws, it’s rather discouraging to do business in Colorado,” he said.
